Mariah Carey Had the Best Response to People Who Criticized Her NYE Performance

Mariah Carey truly doesn't care if you thought her New Year's Eve performance was a disaster. After technical difficulties plagued the pop icon's performance on ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, Twitter unleashed its wrath on the singer, but she had the BEST response to the hate.

"Shit happens 😩 Have a happy and healthy new year everybody!🎉 Here's to making more headlines in 2017 😂," she captioned a GIF of herself shrugging.

As Time reports, Carey took the stage just before midnight to belt out "Auld Lang Syne" and then perform her hit, "Emotions"—which is when the difficulties started. When no one stepped in to fix the technical issues, Carey totally gave up on singing and instead walked casually around the stage, joking and trying to explain what was happening to viewers.
